Specification orv Letters Patent. i I Patented Sept. 1969, Original application led April 3, 1909, Serial No. 487,724. Divided and this application filed May 20, 196913.4

Serial No. 497,180.

To all whom it may concern: f

Be it known that I, JESSE MATTERN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Tyrone, in the county of Blair and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Harrows, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to improvements in harrows and more particularly to a wheeled The object of the invention is to provide a simple and practical wheeled support whichv may be attached to the top of a harrow so that when the latter is inverted it may -be readily moved over a road or from place to place in a field, and so that a plow or other implement with which the harrow is used, may be also carried upon the harroiv when it is inverted.

Vith the above and other objects in View, the invention consists of the novel features ofconstruction and the combination and ar` ran ement of parts hereinafter fully descri ed .and claimed, and illustrated in the accompanyingdrawings, in which- Figure l is a` perspective view of the invention applied to a liarrow which is used in connection with a plowg. and 1E ig. 2 is a ver` tical cross sectional View showing the harrow Wheeled support or carriage and with the plow folded over upon it. ,Y

In the drawings l denotes a plow of ordinary construction and 2 denotes a harrow which may be of any form and construction but, as illustrated, is of triangular sha e having` connected beams provided with dieponding harrow teeth. The barrow, as here y shown, is connected to the plow beam by my improved harrow attachment or connection, shown and described in mypending application for patent, Serial Number 487,724, tiled April ,3, 1909. This connection comprises horizontal arms- 7 connected by clamps`4v to the beam of the plow and. having their outer ends connected 'byi links 8 to the harrowg, such connection permitting the harrow to be'invertedaridv the plow to be -placed upon it, when so inverted, as shown in Fig.

My improved ywheeled support or car-v riage 'for the harrow, which forms the subject matter of the present application, comprises a fra-me 25 of substantially U-shape adapted to straddle the harrow and have the ends of its arms 26 united by a transverse rod 27 whereby the devieeis securely fastened to the barrow. Fixed to the bar 25 are angle .brackets 28 which' serve as bearings for a transverse axle 29 carrying su porting wheels 30.. lThe device is applied to he harrow so that the wheels project above the top of the e and are adapted tosup ort the harrow when the latter is inverted? as shown in Fig. -2. 1 y

While I have shown and described my iniproved wheeled support or carriage for a harrow as applied to one used as an attach` ment to a plow or the like, it will be understood that the invention 'may .be used upon a barrow of other form andfconstruction.`

It will also beunderstood thatvslight changes may be made within the spirit and scope of the invention.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed is: i f

. l.. ,The combination with a harrow, of a substantially U-shape frame to straddle the top of the harrow, means for securing said frame thereon, bearings in said frame, an axle'in said bearin s, vand supporting wheels upon said axle, sai wheels projecting above the top of the harrow and adapted lto support the latter when it is-inverted.

2. The combination with aplow, of a harrow, a wheeled support arranged' upon the top of the harrow, and connections between the latter and vthe plow whereby the 'p harrow may be` inverted and supported on said wheels and the plow swung over and supported on the harrow when so inverted..

In testimony whereof I hereunto aiiix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
